Hello and welcome to HCM,
The level of SGOt and SGPT levels are raised due to elevated liver enzymes.
Liver enzymes are elevated in cases of liver diseases like hepatitis, drug toxicity, alcohol toxicity, etc.
Raised level of bilirubin also suggests liver disease.
Rising level of bilirubin suggests worsening of liver functions.
However, decreasing levels of liver enzymes suggest an improving liver status.
I suggest you to get regular liver function tests.
Thanks and take care
